    Nothing to say Debs? Wasn't it you that wanted all the details? Mustn't be enough blood & gore. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Look at the funny side BC. If you're out fixing a machine and need a spare screw you'll have faith in that you'll always be carrying emergency screws with you.(pun) .

          If your regular doctor says anything about you putting a few extra pounds, just remind him or her of all the metal you are now carrying in your ankle. Hope physical therapy goes as good ask your recovery so far.

            Wouldn't be nice if they invented some sort of bone glue or epoxy. Drill a few holes in your leg and then squirt in the glue. Forget the hardware. Some day it will be like the Star Trek doctor McCoy. Here ya go, We will slide you into the healing chamber and in 10 minutes you will be back up and running. ?? Modern medicine is so good. I'm glad I live in this time and place. Can you imagine what they would have done to your leg 200 years ago. You might be dead?Glad your here.

              According to a documentry I've seen the surgical teams do have access to bone glue and skin epoxy. Dentist use simliar procedures already. 3D bone printers are already reality and are being used in small bone graph procedures.

              Being a Tech-head myself I do look forward to the possible/probable future of StarTrek scenerio's becoming a real everyday normality. As they say "where there is a will there is a way". No harm in dreaming, for it was/is the dreams of ordinary men who have changed( and will continue to change ) the world.

                In 1814 the "doctor" probably would have just hacked it off with a saw, and stitched up the rest. I might even have got some good quality liquor to soften the blow. =^..^=

                  Yes it would have been state of the art surgery with a peice of soft wood clenched between your teeth, a couple of shots of liquor, and ready.......set...... you blackout...... cauterize the wound with a glowing hot blade and 10 weeks later you are hopping around on an iron prosthesis like Blackbeard the pirate asking everyone has panedol/asprin tablets been invented yet...

                      1914 would not been much better.. Least they had chemicals to knock you out first. And morphine for after.

                        I'm waiting for the video of the op

                        And I'm thinking a woman would have made a neater job, it looks like all those screws have just been thrown in there

                        But, seriously, that does look painful (but kinda cool at the same time), I hope the physiotherapy goes well and you're properly back on your feet too, I can't even begin to imagine how painful that must be, I have only ever broken one bone...in my thumb

                          You all are imagining me sitting there chatting with the surgeon while he drives screws in my leg with the cordless drill.

                          When the anesthesiologist spoke with me, he said: "You'll have a temporary nerve block. That means I'll anesthetize the two major nerve bundles leading down to your ankle. You won't feel a thing below the knee. Now you have two choices. I can give you a light anestesia leaving you awake and very relaxed, or you can sleep. Which would you like?"

                          I answered: "I want to sleep. I don't plan on becoming an orthopedic surgeon, and I won't be able to un-see all the work the surgeon does."

                          I got all the benefits, and none of the fearful memories. =^..^=

                                I don't have a 3 metre ladder, and, if I did, I wouldn't deliberately throw myself off just to witness this kind of surgery. But, due to my love of heights, it may yet happen to me, I'll try to be careful though
